I got a bit heavy-handed as suggested and just blew away the whole lot of macro wrappers etc. I did leave around some of the asm called from there but am plotting to nuke them as well after making sure we aren't trying to BTFIXUP code that doesn't exist.
Sorry to say that, but it does not help. On the positive side, I have finally managed to boot 2.6.12.2 on my Hypersparc, by eliminating the initrd support and compiling SCSI drivers into the kernel. The weird thing is that it is enough to replace the call to __copy_1page in __constant_memcpy (include/asm-sparc/string.h) by the call to __memcpy to break the initrd boot. Initrd is then mounted, but attempts to run any script (including linuxrc and init) are immediately killed by SIGSEGV, so kernel panics unable to mount the root from the hdd. This is a complete mystery to me because judging by the code __memcpy is supposed to be a more generic routine. Please let me know if you have any ideas.
